If a tooth requires removal, our experienced dental team provides straightforward, professional care. Tooth extractions are carried out using established clinical techniques to minimise discomfort and support effective healing.
Prior to treatment, we explain the procedure and answer any questions. Local anaesthetic is used to fully numb the area before the tooth is carefully removed. Extractions may be recommended for reasons such as severe decay, damage, infection or impacted wisdom teeth.
All oral surgery is carried out at our Leicester practice by qualified clinicians with extensive experience in dental extractions.

Wisdom teeth are the final teeth to develop and may cause problems if there is insufficient space or if they become impacted. Potential issues include pain, infection, gum disease and increased risk of decay.
At St Johns Road Dental Practice, our clinicians can assess your wisdom teeth and advise whether monitoring or removal is recommended. Where necessary, wisdom tooth extractions are performed safely and routinely at our practice.
If you are experiencing symptoms or have been advised to consider wisdom tooth removal, please contact us on 0116 2707 300 to arrange an assessment.
The frenum is a band of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gum above the front teeth. In some cases, a prominent frenum can contribute to a gap between the upper front teeth and may affect comfort, oral hygiene or appearance.
Treatment options may include orthodontics or a frenectomy, depending on individual clinical needs. Our team will assess your case and discuss the most appropriate treatment approach.

Yes. A consultation is required before oral surgery. This allows your dentist to assess your oral health, review X-rays if needed, discuss treatment options and confirm whether surgery is appropriate.
Most oral surgery procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic to fully numb the treatment area. Sedation options may be available depending on the procedure and individual suitability. This will be discussed during your consultation.
Recovery varies between patients. Mild swelling, tenderness and discomfort are common for a few days following the procedure. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, following post-operative care instructions.
A soft diet is recommended immediately after oral surgery. Foods such as soups, yoghurt, mashed vegetables and smoothies are suitable. Hard, hot or chewy foods should be avoided until healing has progressed.
Waiting times vary depending on clinical urgency and appointment availability. Our team will provide clear information on scheduling during your consultation.
Initial healing usually occurs within one to two weeks. Complete healing may take longer, depending on the procedure and individual healing response. Follow-up advice will be provided after treatment.
